You know when you’re travelling and you’re STARVING and everything around you is meat and bread and milk and you’re about to pass out in malnourished agony, and your friend takes you to a vegan restaurant? That’s the feeling I had when I entered Nishta restaurant in Zagreb and took a gander at the menu. There I tried a sensational raw gnocchi which I recreated as soon as I got back home. +

It’s my birthday today and since I’m not a sweet tooth I didn’t really want cake. All I wanted was a plate of my late Nonna’s luleki.

Luleki are basically gnocchi that are rolled into oblong shapes and panfried (instead of roundish shape and boiled in salt water). The dough is exactly the same as gnocchi but the panfrying gives them a naughty comfort food quality. These luleki are vegan and gluten free.
